KUWAIT — The Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) has launched a youth training camp titled “Educational Environment for a Creative Future,” in partnership with the Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity (SAGCGC). The three-day camp, held at KUNA’s headquarters, aims to equip children of KUNA employees with forward-looking technological and creative skills. This marks the first collaboration between the two institutions and features specialized Cubeoid courses in software development, electronic circuits, and robotics programming.
The initiative reflects a shared commitment to empowering young minds with essential competencies in information technology, innovation, and critical thinking from an early age.
Nada Al-Daihani, Director General of SAGCGC, praised KUNA as a pioneering national media institution that goes beyond news dissemination by contributing meaningfully to social responsibility. “This camp supports our shared goal of nurturing creativity and developing technological excellence among children, preparing them to lead in a knowledge-based economy,” she said.
Al-Daihani noted the camp is designed as a specialized science club for children aged seven and above, covering vital disciplines such as programming, robotics, electronics, and technical design. She emphasized the importance of expanding such partnerships with both public and private sectors to build a generation capable of driving Kuwait’s digital and industrial transformation.
Lamya Al-Farsi, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at KUNA, highlighted the camp as a testament to KUNA’s commitment to investing in human capital. “This initiative stems from our firm belief in fostering future talent and supporting the children of our employees by developing their skills in technology and innovation,” she said. Al-Farsi added that the camp aligns with KUNA’s broader vision of nurturing a generation equipped with the tools needed for the future of digital media and technology.
“We are proud of this strategic partnership with the Sabah Al-Ahmad Center, and we are confident that it will help discover and refine the talents of our youth, unlocking their creative potential,” she concluded.
The Cubeoid program includes modules on robotics, allowing children to engage with programmable devices and acquire foundational coding skills. The electronic circuits module introduces participants to components and assembly techniques through hands-on projects simulating real-life applications. The robotics programming course teaches basic commands to operate robots, fostering an interactive and accessible learning experience.
